FYI: The following was released by IBM today and was classified as a HIPER (High Impact/Highly Pervasive). APAR Number: IY78323 A cached write to a JFS2 file resulting in a non-page-aligned file size followed by a subsequent DIO/CIO write to the last block of the file results in no size increase, losing part of the last write. This only occurs on JFS2.
